Headlines must tell the potential reader the subject of a story, nothing else; otherwise they are McCarthyism. We need a generic headline regulation that applies to all non-fictional media statements, desperately.
Why is this important?
McCarthyism is not about the content of a statement--it's about bypassing a Constitutional regulation which would demand generic headlines be supplied based on the "subject' or "issue" and ban statements that contain neither attested facts, standards based evaluations as bona fides for being permitted to use value terms or a statement of science.
